Want to learn how to paint a photo study quickly and easily?<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Creating a series of quick photo studies over a number of days is a great (and fun!) way for digital art beginners to get better at painting fast<\/i>!<\/b><\/p>\n

The secret to creating photo studies from reference photos in 20 mins or less is to focus your attention on just 3 things:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. blocking the shapes<\/li>\n
  2. adding texture with texture brushes<\/li>\n
  3. capturing the gesture or motion within the reference<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In this video, I’ll show you these 3 steps as I create a beachy flamingo scene for one of the Paintable Community Challenges:<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
